The age of castles and knights are long since past but we hear of strange happenings occurring in and around the ruins the dot the landscape in Wales. On our fifth day the weather was a bit overcast and we decided to visit a monument nearby. There were signs along the roadways directing us to this historical site and it did seem to be quite well known.
It was described in pamphlets as a burial chamber. Neither Kelly or I really knew what to expect as we drove the extremely narrow lanes following the signs to this site. At one point we had to pull over tight against the hedgerow to allow another vehicle to go by. The roads were only 10 feet wide from one steep walled side to the other.
Finally we arrived at a small widened area and found the final sign telling of this ancient burial chamber.
A narrow pathway led us by a field of cattle and sheep to what was to be our first encounter with the spiritual side of Wales.
The chamber, now a memorial, stood overlooking a lush valley. A small river could been seen in the distance and there were hills in all directions. If I was going to be buried anywhere this would be an ideal peaceful site.
There were long stones, maybe 12 feet tall, standing upright with a large slab of stone sitting on top. Three upright stones supporting one massive slab. Sort of like a mini Stonehenge. It seemed to be beckoning us to find shelter under the massive stone lid.
My skin was feeling a bit tingly as we approached the monument. It was like being in a cemetery but more eerie. Kelly and I now stood under the stone lid and suddenly we heard voices. I looked at her and she returned my gaze.
The rain had turned to a drizzle and about 20 feet away a womans voice called out.
"I will have you now my dear." the radiant woman spoke
I am not too keen of suspenseful situations and now I was beginning to get frightened. Kelly touched my shoulder and I almost jumped out of my skin.
Look she said whispering softly.
In the mist I could make out a figure. It seemed to be a young man. He was dressed very odd. His clothing was ancient looking. His movements were smooth and quiet.
The womans voice called out again, she seemed to be calling for him.
He spoke up and asked her to show herself.
From behind a large bush a vision of beauty emerged with swirling mist and light.
Her body shone like these solar lights we all have in our gardens. Her hair was blond and flowing around her head in the light wind. She wore no clothing to cover her flawless body.
We were awestruck by what we were seeing. Kelly and I seemed to have entered a dimension of time of long ago while we stood under the chamber stones.
The man moved towards the woman and slowly began to disrobe himself of the tunic and pants that he wore.
Kelly's eyes were filled with awe as he turned to face us and she saw his long thick man sword hanging between his legs. The woman reached out and caressed the mans' shoulders and back with her slender hands.
We could sense the familiarity with which they now embraced each other. A secret tryst was taking place before us and it seemed as if they could not sense our presence.
We watched as they lowered themselves to the soft mossy ground in front of the chamber. Their kisses were passionate but gentle. They touched and stroked each other as if they were glass. Her body began to glow more and his body began to respond to the hands which fondled his manhood.
